Let's talk royals

Earlier today royal fans and fairweather observers alike woke up to news that Prince Harry and his girlfriend of of 16 month, Meghan Markle, were engaged. The couple held a photocall at Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden before sitting down with the BBC’s Mishal Husain.

Markle, who until recently starred on USA Network’s “Suits,” has moved into Nottingham cottage, Harry’s two-bedroom abode at Kensington Palace. It was there that Harry proposed one evening while she was making them a roast chicken.

As Meghan showed off the ring Harry designed for her — a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana flanked by diamonds from Diana’s personal jewelry collection — her former co-stars and friends spoke fondly of their friend, who will soon become Princess Henry of the United Kingdom (and possibly Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Sussex).
